You have noooooo idea.
Of course, there's sometimes faked injuries for storyline purposes, to give a guy time for a vacation, to build slowburn heat, to explain a guy leaving for another company that sort of thing...
But people break their necks, their bones, that sick snap of a tendon breaking and the muscle curling back up in the leg...
Pappypappypappy, no no no. It's a dangerous dangerous game.
I was play acting at it for three days and I suffered a mild concussion.
The margin for error is... razor-thin, sometimes literally.
So what if it's "fixed"? So were all the Reds games in the Eighties.
So are movies. Did you know that? When they're filming a movie, the actors TOTALLY know what the ending is.
Isn't that awful? Doesn't it ruin your vision of filmmaking to know that?
Movies are fixed and so they're not important! Lord...
